Shortly after Evans was arrested by officers of the Nigerian Police Force, the notorious kidnapper has reportedly started spilling names of his high-profile accomplices.

Insider sources reveal that investigators working on the case have already been dispatched to locations outside Lagos, including Edo, Umuahia, Aba, Onitsha and Nnewi in search of the named accomplices, while efforts are underway to find other properties owned by Evans.

Moreover, investigations reveal that security has also been beefed up around the notorious criminal, following reports that his high-profile accomplices were planning to silence him, in order to prevent him from spilling information about them to the police.
